How do I make PyCharm recognize placeholders in SQL statements?

Question

I\'m using PyCharm and I have an error on this SQL statement:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE id= %(id)s

The code syntax inspection says:

<         


        

Answer 1

Is this SQL in a SQL console, or in a string in a Python script? I had this same issue and solved it by checking the box above the list of patterns, labeled "Enable in string literals with SQL injection". If you're doing this in a SQL console window, check the first box.

As @LazyOne notes, go to Settings/Preferences > Tools > Database > User Parameters and you'll see two checkboxes at the top:
Enable in console and SQL files
Enable in string literals with SQL injection

While you can add your own custom patters, I believe the pattern that matches this parameter syntax (for me, parameters for psycopg2 for use in Postgres) is out-of-the-box in Pycharm, the last one in the list.
